Re: Michael S. Vorac's June 18 letter, "Male, female logic":
Let's go straight to examine some of the natural laws Vorac has said are revealed to us by thinking.
He wrote: "A human is either a man or a woman." Somebody ought to tell this to the approximately 5,000 couples every year who are faced with the decision to pick their child's sex after birth because their child was born a hermaphrodite, a human with both male and female sex organs. The new psychology on this is to wait several years to determine the child's male or female propensity before sex orientation surgery is performed.
He wrote: "A male is naturally attracted to a female and vice versa." If this were true, we would not have homosexuals. In actuality, it is now understood that humans as well as other species are, on a sliding scale, sexually somewhere between heterosexual and homosexual. Sex for many higher animals is far more than just for procreation. In fact, there are animal species that are both male and female and basically inseminate themselves.
He wrote: "Only a man and women can create another human." All males have been made irrelevant in the process. Sperm is no longer even required in the petri dish.
He wrote: "The primary purpose of marriage is the creation and education of humans." Marriage is completely irrelevant when it comes to creating humans, but it is relevant to creating a stronger bond between individuals for the purpose of raising children and caring for each other.
He has proved my point once again: It is impossible to think clearly when the mind is full of fundamentalist thoughts that crowd out reason.
